Passengers “slapped” with delay after incident
In what is the latest episode and perhaps one of the most bizarre ones of ‘What is Aerolineas Argentinas in the news for today?’, news broke out this morning that at least 3 flights were cancelled and 10 others were delayed, although local newspapers are now reporting operations are going back to normal. The reason? A passenger who was late for his flight attempted to check-in today at 6:18am for a flight departing...

Why You Should ALWAYS Buckle Up
I always find it unbelievable rude when people pay absolutely no attention to the safety demonstration onboard a plane, although I’m guilty of that as I’ve heard it possibly a thousand times by now. It upsets me even more when they show a total disregard for those regulations that are not there just there to annoy us (like Aerolineas Argentinas’ or Vueling’s refusal to allow you to leave your phones on…)...
No Ice For You!
In a surprise move to no one, the FDA has sent Horizon Air a letter warning them that they should not be serving food or drinks with ice onboard since their employees do not have a proper sink to wash their hands, as is required of employees who handle food. None of their over 50 Bombardier aircraft have sinks. Instead, Horizon Air (Owned by Alaska Air Group) provides a hand sanitizer in the lavatories, which according to the FDA...

No, Argentina will not reimburse your reciprocity fee
Nor should you give it a try and see if it works. Reciprocity fees (and visas, for that matter) bring in substantial and much needed revenue to countries, which they then reinvest it in their economy, in the way of improved touristic facilities, better immigration services to travelers, newer airports, roads, national parks, etc. Contrary to what most people think and feel, it is not a penalty to visitors, nor should it be...
Alaska Airlines to use Electronic Bag Tags?!
Tired of waiting in line to get a bag tag from an agent, and then having to rip all those sticky, nasty tags off of your luggage afterwards? I know I am; so much in fact that I still haven’t taken mine off from our last trip. I’m sure that the next agent to put one on will take it off for me. Well, this is all about to change… Per Alaska’s blog today, they’ve been testing a new...
A new prepaid debit card on the market…
Prepaid debit cards are a great way for the “unbanked” to have easy access to funds without having to walk around with wads of cash in their pockets, but it’s been very rare that a debit card actually provides rewards. Starbucks Rewards Delta and Suntrust Bank had a lucrative partnership for a while, but recently they limited their rewards to be capped at a few thousand Skymiles a month and tacked on a huge $95...
Explosions in Brussels Airport and Subway stations
If you’re like me, your phone was full of notifications this morning about the bombings in Brussels. At the time of writing, there are dozens dead, spread between an airport check in terminal and a subway station. First and foremost, our thoughts go out to the families and friends of those affected, and hope that those behind these attacks are brought to justice quickly. The latest information shows that 34 are dead and over...
Alaska Airlines to fly From Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba!
¡Buenos Dias! Alaska Airlines filed today with the US Department of Transportation to have the rights to fly from Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba as early as the end of this summer. Ever since travel restrictions were lightened last year for Americans wanting to plan a visit to Cuba, airlines have been petitioning the USDOT for the right to start commercial service to the Caribbean island. While visiting strictly as a...
